None of the above statements comes from theorycrafting-- this is the learned experience of several very good boxers who have all played this comp.
in AB are warriors going to really try and run you down if you are rocking aspect of the pack and he has 5 BM pets up his arse? I think not. Stand off and let your pet do the work. Just run from anyone trying to chase you down, think of yourself as an aircraft carrier and your pets as your bombers and fighters. You are vulnerable, your pets can put out a hurting and are expendable. In AB if someone wants to fight you 100 yards off the flag, well they are welcome to it. Meanwhile your pets have either killed them before they can catch you, or you have killed several of their team mates. You don't need to be able to heal. Someone can heal for you. Getting closed down is a state of mind. If you don't want to be, you won't be unless you have nowhere to run, mounted or otherwise. If you try to play your hunters as a turret ya, you won't be successful. Being able to operate from 100 yards or more means that any melee that wants to close distance on you has LOTS of dead ground to cover. You seem to be stuck in the mindset of actually engaging yourself. Why? There is no point. Sit on the periphery of the fight, assist train people down with your 5 BM pets and if you see the opportunity to engage yourself, pop in, spike someone, and run away again. Your pets WILL kill people. You WILL be far enough away that anyone trying to engage you is going to run themselves out of the fight. You don't have to be in the fight physically to wreck people with 5 BM pets. (Anyone care to explain HOW to get my paragraphs to stay? I apologize for the wall of text but my paragraphs are just condensing into a brick...)
